MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 35 18. FORM AOC-1 176 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Dear Shareholders, We are passing through the most disruptive and uncertain times in modern human history. The world is enveloped by Covid-19 and no country is free from this pandemic and the resultant economic crisis has aggravated the global community’s hardship. However, I have no doubt India and the world economy will emerge stronger and bounce back quickly and I also strongly believe that every adversity presents multiple new opportunities. The work culture has changed dramatically across all industries. The tyre industry is also riding this wave of change. It has been two months since the Government lifted the lockdown and we are still finding our way to establishing economic levels of production. We have had to deal with Covid-19 cases in our manufacturing plants from time to time and this has affected our production momentum. Fortunately, the demand for tyres, particularly from the Farm and Commercial Sector has not been affected much and we are able to cater to these market segments. The Government’s initiative, prohibiting the import of tyres is a welcome relief, as it will definitely alleviate our problem to a great extent. The forecast of a normal monsoon and its timely onset has boosted the expectations of a bumper crop output and this augurs well for the rural economy. This can strengthen rural income and demand, which will see a spurt in demand for two-wheelers and tractors. Thus, a recovery in the rural economy will be a relief to the Indian tyre industry. Currently, the automobile industry is also passing through tough times as the demand for four wheelers and two wheelers is at an unprecedented low. The industry has moved to BS VI vehicles which are slowly getting absorbed in the market. We are expecting to see a fair growth in demand for vehicles, and I am sure that the automobile industry will come out of this slump with reasonable growth in the near future. MRF has registered a total income of Rs.16322 Crores for the year ended 31st March 2020. This year marks the 33rd year since your Company has become the market leader in India. MRF is focused on strengthening its position through this period of uncertainty with uncompromising emphasis on quality, as it has been one of the major factors helping us take a leadership position in the industry in almost all the segments of the market. We will continue to pursue this path so that MRF Tyres always remains every customer’s first choice. I would like to thank the shareholders, investors, Central and State Governments, lenders, suppliers and customers for their consistent and resolute support. I thank all my colleagues on the Board for guiding the company during this crucial phase with their insights, support and encouragement. Please keep safe and stay healthy. Best wishes. K.M.

    Start a Premium Handcrafted English Willow Cricket Bat Manufacturing

    Y-1743 www.entrepreneurindia.co www.niir.org INTRODUCTION A cricket bat is a modified piece of equipment that batsmen use to strike the ball in the sport of cricket. It usually consists of a cane handle connected to a flat-fronted willow-wood blade. A batter who is making their ground will do it to prevent being run out if they keep the bat and hit the ground with it. The bat must be no longer than 38 inches (965 mm) in length and no wider than 4.25 inches in width (108 mm). The first time it was seen was in 1624. Since 1979, a law has required bats to be made entirely of wood. www.entrepreneurindia.co www.niir.org MANUFACTURING OF ENGLISH WILLOW CRICKET BATS Willow wood and cane are used to make the cricket bat. The handle of the bat is made of cane, and the blade of the bat is made of willow. Willow wood has properties that allow it to absorb shock. When the ball is struck hard and quick, it is difficult to bat. The shock is absorbed by the willow tree. The production of cricket bats goes through many stages in order to produce the highest quality bats. Various steps in the production process are included, from planting willow trees to playing cricket on the field. Kashmir willow and English willow are the two major bat-making woods in India. www.entrepreneurindia.co www.niir.org Step 1:- Plating willow trees and cane: Wood is the most popular raw material used in the production of cricket bats.

    Respondent's Response to Enforcement Opposition for Change to 120 Day Proceedings Re: Mark Feathers 3- 15755

    Respondent's Response to Enforcement Opposition for Change to 120 Day Proceedings re: Mark Feathers 3- 15755 Enforcement shows strong opposition to Respondent's request for the Commission to modify these proceedings to a 120 day category from a 75 day category. Is this not the Commission's decision to make? Enforcement presents its normal assemblage of red herrings and alternative facts in its reply. The district court order enjoining Respondent against violating federal securities laws was issued in 2013. And, Respondent is under probation and criminal court order, as well, to not engage in violations of the securities laws through 2022. So, "urgency" as the basis to 75 day proceedings, as Enforcement argues in its opposition filing, is nonsensical. And the Stalker forensic accounting report of Respondent's investment funds, ordered by criminal court but only after civil court's adverse summary judgement against Respondent, clearly has added a level of complexity to these proceedings which the Commission could not have considered (and likely did not even hold awareness of), at the time it ordered 75 day hearings. The Commission should now be made aware of the Stalker Report, and form its own determination on Respondent's request to re-designate these as 120 day proceedings. And, since the public paid for the report, Respondent holds belief, which he hopes that the Commission and this court concur with, that the public benefits as well with knowledge that Enforcement is not allowed by this court to snuff out material and reliable third-party produced adversarial evidentiary information from being presented to this court and to the Commissioners.

    Complex Fluids in Energy Dissipating Systems

    applied sciences Review Complex Fluids in Energy Dissipating Systems Francisco J. Galindo-Rosales Centro de Estudos de Fenómenos de Transporte, Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, CP 4200-465 Porto, Portugal; [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +351-925-107-116 Academic Editor: Fan-Gang Tseng Received: 19 May 2016; Accepted: 15 July 2016; Published: 25 July 2016 Abstract: The development of engineered systems for energy dissipation (or absorption) during impacts or vibrations is an increasing need in our society, mainly for human protection applications, but also for ensuring the right performance of different sort of devices, facilities or installations. In the last decade, new energy dissipating composites based on the use of certain complex fluids have flourished, due to their non-linear relationship between stress and strain rate depending on the flow/field configuration. This manuscript intends to review the different approaches reported in the literature, analyses the fundamental physics behind them and assess their pros and cons from the perspective of their practical applications. Keywords: complex fluids; electrorheological fluids; ferrofluids; magnetorheological fluids; electro-magneto-rheological fluids; shear thickening fluids; viscoelastic fluids; energy dissipating systems PACS: 82.70.-y; 83.10.-y; 83.60.-a; 83.80.-k 1. Introduction Preventing damage or discomfort resulting from any sort of external kinetic energy (impact or vibration) is an omnipresent problem in our society. On one hand, impacts and vibrations are responsible for several health problems. According to the European Injury Data Base (IDB), injuries due to accidents are killing one EU citizen every two minutes and disabling many more [1].
